What’s your gut reaction?!?!

What’s your gut reaction?!?!

Your stomach hurts, there’s pain and bloating in your abdomen after you eat anything with gluten, you feel foggy headed and you’re lacking energy. Focusing at work has become a chore because of the haze that’s clouding your mind. You’re anxious, depressed and sleepless, but your doctor has run every test that he knows of and the results keep coming back negative. “You’re fine. There’s a mild gluten sensitivity but nothing severe. Most of this is in your head. Minimize your gluten. Oh and maybe take a vacation. You seem a little stressed”. That’s the brilliant advice from the specialist you were sent to. You feel hopeless, confused and want answers. Well maybe now, after reading this article, you can find the answers you’ve been looking for.

DID YOU KNOW that the wheat we eat today in America is not the same wheat we ate 30 years ago. Therefore, the way our bodies respond to it is completely different then in the past. Why do you think it is that when an American visits Europe who is diagnosed as gluten intolerant, he is able to eat the gluten products served without ANY issue? Because in America we do something called Hybridization of wheat. It’s not technically GMO’d, but it is altered into a completely different grain by either deleting or adding genes to it. The government says it’s not GMO’d but it sure sounds like it to me!! This process has created mutant strains of gluten that cause massive inflammation in our guts (stomach and intestines). And this is one of the main reasons we have so much gluten sensitivity and celiac disease in America. And this is why when you go to Italy and are downing that gluten filled pasta, you feel fine. There is nothing in that food that is causing this massive inflammatory reaction to occur…… Scary stuff
But what’s more scary is what these mutant strains of gluten are physically doing to our guts….

These mutant strains are creating holes. Lots and lots of holes. Not in the ground. But in our guts. Our guts should never have any sort of hole in them, but thanks to the massive amount of inflammation that occurs in response to this gluten issue, our immune systems become weakened and things like bacteria and parasites can invade our systems and start to eat away at our stomach and intestinal lining!!! THIS is why all of the issues I mentioned initially in this article (inability to focus, stomach pains, bloating, anxiety, fatigue, depression etc) are occurring. Because that barrier that separates the inside of your intestines and stomach from the bloodstream is no longer intact. So toxins will float right out of your intestines, into your bloodstream, and potentially into your brain!! This is why gluten sensitivity doesn’t have to just manifest in the gut! It can show up in the form of emotional and neurological symptoms as well. Two thirds of the people who react to gluten react in the brain and NOT the gut, meaning they produce no intestinal or digestive symptoms.
So where do you go from here? The doctors have no answers as to how to patch up these holes and rebuild this broken gut. At Vitality Acupuncture I can work with you to help the healing process begin with acupuncture, dietary changes, and multitude of homemade formulas I have used on myself and my patients. It won’t be an overnight fix, but it will be worth it in the end. If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything;
